The Battle of Guilford Courthouse: American Participant DatabaseA team of 25 members of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) compiled a partial participant list of American veterans of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and published it in March 2018. Project team members were from Guilford Battle Chapter and Rachel Caldwell Chapter. The bulk of their entries relied on 19th century pension applications from surviving veterans and widows. Their database can be found online through the Guilford Battleground Company. Digging through Historical Records
Participant Database and the Citizen Archivist Revolutionary War Pension ProjectPark staff have consolidated the 2018 NSDAR database with a card catalogue database compiled by a previous generation of park rangers. In May 2024, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park launched a project to transcribe all pension files of veterans of the battle of Guilford Courthouse. Hundreds of volunteer citizen archivists have answered the call and also report biographical information from each veteran / pension applicant. Park staff are producing a more robust database in an Excel spreadsheet. For a current version of the spreadsheet (with over 2,500 American veterans), please contact park staff. |
